1 gig PC2700 ram (I know, I know, I need PC3200)

Not bad.

 

[beedubaya]

Do you have that PC or are you getting ready to build it?

 

[mrkbik]

I have it. I just finished it.

If thats yours now i could think of about a billion better computers and about 10 upgrades you could do
scsi or sata hard drives
overclock
watercooling
mod case
better drives
MORE memory
better video card

I think the computer i built for a shop with 2.4ghz and mobo video could outperform....

lol *wow* look at you computers uh huh...yeah...hmmm...nope his is better alot better

 

[mrzeeedler]

I dont care how good mine nor his is. theirs a lot to upgrade.

Your computer is about average... although average users only have 512MB RAM.

Sure there are some upgrades you could do, but nothing that can't wait a few months.

 

[Kangaroo]

The good thing is, you have left yourself with loads of room for upgrades.

Upgrade:

AMD Athlon 64bit 3700 64Bit (32Bit Compatible) CPU (1Mb 2nd level Cache) Socket 754 or higher.

1 Gb (2 x 512 Mb) Corsair TwinX, DDR500, PC4000PT, Cas 2

**************************************************
256Mb X800 XT Platinum Edition (GDDR3, D-Sub, DVI, VIVO)

OR

256MB GeForce 6800 ULTRA DDR 3 Tv/DVI
**************************************************

2x74Gb Western Digital Raptor Enterprise (10Krpm,8MB) on a RAID -0 configuration, using High Point Rocket RAID 1640 (4 channel SATA) controller.

For EXTREME overclockers use:

Yesico Fanless 420W PSU with TMS (Thermo Management System)

Vapochill Complete Extreme Edition - AMD (Socket A) Titanium with Side Window (FS-019-VP) £444 or $825 (USD)

The above cooling (+ cool looking case) will hit your CPU temperature down to -50 degrees centigrade allowing you to overclock your AMD Athlon by 1GHz or more.
